Regional Disaster Vulnerability Reduction APL1 - Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines

closed

The Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project aims at measurably reducing vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change impacts in the Eastern Caribbean sub-region. There are four components to the project. The first component of the project is prevention and adaptation investments. Under this component the participating countries will implement and test a broad spectrum of interventions aimed at reducing vulnerability in public buildings and infrastructure. The second component of the project is regional platforms for hazard and risk evaluation, and applications for improved decision making. Under this component the project will support building the regional capacity for assessment of natural risks and integration of such assessment into policy and decision making process for the development of investments, disaster risk mitigation, and disaster response across sectors. The third component of the project is natural disaster response investments. This component will finance emergency recovery and reconstruction subprojects under an agreed action plan of activities designed as a mechanism to implement the recipient's rapid response to an emergency. The fourth component of the project is project management and implementation support. Activities under this component will support strengthening and developing the institutional capacity for project management.
